The Last Driver #1 by superstar creator Sean Gordon Murphy (Batman: White Knight, Tokyo Ghost, Punk Rock Jesus, The Wake) is off to the races with an immediate sell-out at the distributor level. Image Comics will burn rubber this week getting the popular premiere issue back to print so that even more readers can join in on the wild ride.
The Last Driver #1, second printing will feature new cover art by Murphy.
“I’m shocked it sold out! I just assumed most readers weren’t into cars, a grindhouse vibe, and books that you have to tip sideways,” said Murphy. “Instead of a cover, I’m going to do an Escape from NYhomage, that way shops will be forced to buy even more. :)”
As technology in America advanced, cities began creating the GRID: a robotic transportation system that not only made cars obsolete, it made them illegal. But an outlaw named “Clutch” has no choice but to get behind the wheel one more time. What starts out as a race to save his granddaughter’s life quickly turns into a rebellion against technology, fascism, and the future of a divided America.
Escape from NY meets Vanishing Point in this high octane cyberpunk action comic perfect for fans of Petrol Head, Death Or Glory, and Tokyo Ghost.
The Last Driver #1, second printing (UPC: 70985304827500112) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, September 16.
The Last Driver #2 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, September 23
